Time to remaster Pong

@IceClimbers @RedderRugfish Time for Pong: The Next, Next Level! Physical release brought to you be Limited Run games!

@RedderRugfish Online only, no single player VS the AI. The Switch just can't handle it.

Time to remaster Bomberman Act Zero

Time to remaster William Higinbotham's Tennis game! Now in 8K

There is a dutch electronics website that got their hands on the Nintendo Switch (on video). They liked it, even preferred the built/controller over the original. Buttons & joycon all ´felt´ (very) different. More sturdy, they said.

Please do mind: this is Dutch!

Hopefully, when Nintendo made things more sturdy, they also removed all joycon drifting causes...

Woo Samsho is hitting Japan in December (both the collection and remake) thank goodness As the wait was driving me nuts.

One of my favorite Youtubers, Spawn Wave, plans to do a teardown of the Lite once it's released. We'll find out if the analog mechanism has been changed from the one used in the joy-con. Personally I doubt it has been. I believe a year after the launch we'll hear complaints about folks having to send their Lite to Nintendo for repairs due to the drift issue.

@Magician If it hasn't we'll have lots of reports of people losing their Animal Crossing save data because cloud saves aren't supported and they sent their Switch Lite for repair because of the drift issue.

Aladdin/Lion King remasters up for pre-order. Price is $30, 10/29 release date.

@redd214 Huh, so those screenshots confirm Genesis Aladdin, though no sign of SNES Aladdin. I don't know Lion King well enough to tell which version those screenshots are sourced from, considering they're basically the same game.

No SNES Aladdin is a huge omission. The Genesis/SNES versions were quite unique.

Hm the person who originally leaked the remasters mentioned it including both versions of both games.

So who knows. If it's just the Genesis versions though, I believe those are considered superior across the board anyway.

I had the genesis version of Aladdin and while I did love it, my buddy had the snes version and i always enjoyed it more. I want to say the snes version allowed Aladdin to parachute down from high points and the genesis didnt if i recall correctly. I always thought that was the coolest thing. Then again, i was like 8 or 9 so yea, little things like that were a world of difference at that age. I don't even remember seeing lion king the game as a kid though.

Hm I guess the trailer and description make a point to avoid mentioning the SNES version of Aladdin, while mentioning every other game. How odd.

I wonder why.

@StableInvadeel i just watched the trailer and saw 6 versions(3 of each game). What versions are they then?

@NintendoByNature

Aladdin:
Genesis
Game Boy
Super Game Boy

The Lion King:
Genesis
SNES
Game Boy

So yeah, Aladdin technically has an SNES game... But not quite the one people want.

That would explain it nicely.

@Dev893 That would explain why Disney Afternoon Collection didn't come to Switch.

Psst....
Aladdin SNES version probably will be provided from Nintendo Switch Online Service.
